Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-4
Severity: important
Followup-For: Bug #256640

This bug is still present in OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 and a serious problem
in its "cannot open" aspect.

Just imagine a giant file server with many filenames still in iso-8859-1
and no foreseen conversion possible (since desktops are still using
mixed operating systems and character sets).  OpenOffice.org can't open
any of them :(

Relevant strace lines:

 execve("/usr/bin/openoffice", ["openoffice", "Un éléphant.sxi"], [/* 33 vars 
*/]) = 0

 execve("/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice", 
["/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soff"..., "Un \351l\351phant.sxi"], [/* 32 vars 
*/]) = 0
 
 execve("/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin", 
["/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soff"..., "Un \351l\351phant.sxi"], [/* 36 vars 
*/]) = 0

 access("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
 stat64("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", 0xbfffc17c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
 access("/tmp/Un �l�phant.sxi", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory


For the record I tried with an official build of 1.1.4 and got the same
failure.  I also looked in upstream bts but found nothing.



Regards,

        Frederic
